Mitt Romney’s campaign this morning his visit would be open to the press.

The visit comes a day after a video surfaced of Romney telling wealthy donors that 47 percent of all Americans “believe they are victims” entitled to help from the government that permeates their lives.

Romney on Monday offered no apologies, conceding the comments were not “elegantly stated” and were spoken “off the cuff,” the Associated Press reported.

The Republican presidential nominee said the remarks showed a contrast between President Barack Obama’s “government-centered society” and his belief in a “free-market approach.”

Obama for America North Carolina Press Secretary Cameron French said Ryan’s stop in Greensboro tonight was solely a “photo op with local press.”

“On the heels of Mitt Romney’s shocking comments that it’s not his job to worry about 47 percent of Americans, today his campaign is sending Paul Ryan to the Greensboro airport solely for a photo op with local press,” he said in a statement today. “The Romney-Ryan campaign is clearly more interested in the pageantry of running for office than in offering substantive policy proposals for middle class North Carolinians. It’s hard to serve as president of all Americans when you fail the character test by writing off half the country you want to lead.”
